Soo this week October is going to be here, crazy right?? I am joining some friends in doing No Spending October Challenge and I'm excited to see how that goes. For now, I'm stockpiling on clothes and boots that I would normally buy in October as the season changes (post coming Thursday), is that cheating? So get excited because I'll probably be in a great mood since I (hopefully) won't be broke in October!
Anway, since grilling season is coming to a close, we've been trying to take full advantage of all things grill. Last week we tried this gem:
Servings: 2
Prep Time: 1 hour (marinating)
Cook Time: 10 mins
Ingredients:
- 4 large Portabella(o?) mushrooms ($6.00)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 cup goat cheese (I get the giant chunk of herbed goat cheese from Trader Joe's and slice it up and use a few slices for each burger)
- Rolls (we use Udi's)
Combine the olive oil, vinegar, onion, garlic and salt in a large ziploc bag and shake it up to mix it all together. Add the mushrooms and allow to marinate for 1-2 hours.
Spray your grill with LOTS of non-stick grilling spray. These babies wanted to stick all over our grill. Place the mushrooms on the hot grill, gill side up, for 10 mins- no need to flip or anything.
Put them on your rolls of choice (our portabellas were thin so we each put 2 on our rolls), top with goat cheese, onions, and your choice of condiments. I just used a little extra balsamic.
This was a great weekend in which I took one picture. Friday Harrison and I stayed in, took care of some wedding details, drank some two buck chuck and a delicious Fall Salad from Sweet Green with MD crab, corn, avocadooomgggg:

ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
I love lazy weekends. i LOVE Cards of Humanity, it's a good way to find out just how sick and twisted you really are. Um, that portabella burger FOR THE WIN. I'm headed out to Trader Joes in a few!
ReplyDeletei freaking love mushrooms as burgers. i actually made some once and used the mushrooms as the bun (way too juicy and messy) and this is a much better idea!!
ReplyDeleteI love giant grilled portobellos. I do them exactly the same but with Feta... yum. And your Dawgs sure did squeek one out!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check our Sweet green to see if they have that MD crab salad - amazing!! I'm trying a no spend October as well...we'll see how that one goes!
ReplyDeleteLove those pups! Also, that burger looks delish!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at burger and lost me at fungus. Haha!
ReplyDeleteThat game was a close one, at least our Dawgs pulled out a W!
That looks SOOO good. I want a burger now :) (said girl who just had dinner and dessert)
ReplyDeleteI am doing the wallet watch too and buying all the things before the month starts! Haha! The pups look adorable, weekends in are the best!
ReplyDeleteCards Against Humanity is my favorite. I'm doing the Wallet Watch and while it's not as hard as a complete no spend month, I hope I can reign in the spending too! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would flip over these. Looks great! I've never heard of Cards Against Humanity... Totally going to have to check it out!
